AUSTIN – Texas starting quarterback David Ash, who left games due to a head injury twice in 15 days last month, did not make the trip to Iowa State and won’t play on Thursday, UT announced.

Ash suffered a concussion on Sept. 7 at BYU, missed the next week’s game against Mississippi and then left UT’s Sept. 21 game against Kansas State at halftime after experiencing what the school called “head injury symptoms.” He’ll be replaced by Case McCoy, although coach Mack Brown said he hopes to play freshman Tyrone Swoopes as well.

Wide receiver Mike Davis, who missed the KSU game with an ankle injury, will be a game-time decision. Right tackle Josh Cochran (shoulder) is out.
